* ''Literature/TheStarloreLegacy'': The plasma rifle actually invokes this trope just as much as it does the RayGun trope. It looks like a fairly standard sci-fi plasma blaster...until you look at the provided schematic. This weapon is basically a modern-day assault rifle [[OurWeaponsWillBeBoxyInTheFuture made to look more sci-fi]] and that shoots plasma blasts. It has a fairly standard optic (albeit holographic) and even loads from a magazine (which happens to be a giant battery that just ''looks'' like a magazine).

* ''Blog/HamstersParadise'': The primary weapon of the tundra harmsters is a polearm that had been modified into a ranged weapon that's described as "an unholy fusion of a single-shot rifle, crossbow, slingshot and bayonet" that fires bullets of sharpened stone using elastic bands made from animal sinew and plant fibers. This [[FirearmsAreRevolutionary gave them a huge advantage]] over the other harmsters who didn't have any ranged weapons beyond throwing spears.

* ''TabletopGame/StarFrontiers'': The role of a traditional firearm using bullets has been replaced by gyrojet weapons which launches a jet-propelled shell at the target and of course various [[WeWillUseLasersInTheFuture energy weapons are the most popular choice]] in this setting.

** Originally in the ''Rogue Trader'' days, the bolter was a 75mm gyrojet-style gun. So the firing chamber was just a mechanism that set off the bolter shell's rocket and anyone can use one including the Xeno races. Later this would be retconned to a somewhat more traditional firearm that fired a .75 calibre rocket-propelled shell that was first shot out from a spent casing before the rocket triggered and was a human exclusive weapon.
